Product Description
Midland is a world leader in wireless two-way and weather/hazard alert
radios, with an extensive line of land mobile radios, CB, GMRS and FRS
radios, MURS radios, weather-monitor alert radios, itinerant radios
and a line of quality antennas and accessories.
Stay up to
date on all the latest weather, hazard, and civil emergency
information with the Midland WR-100B monitor. Capable of receiving
seven National Oceanic & Atmospheric Association (NOAA) channels--each
of which receives emergency advisories on tornadoes, floods, severe
thunderstorms, civil danger warnings, and more--the WR-100B is a must
for people who live in high-risk weather areas, such as the Southeast
or Midwest. Plus, the seven NOAA channels offer coverage for roughly
93 percent of the U.S., so most people are well covered regardless of
where they live.
Another valuable function is the monitor's
Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) reception. SAME allows users to
program the radio to sound an alert only when weather and other
emergencies threaten a selected county or counties. The technology
eliminates all alerts from other areas, so users won't have to perk up
their ears each time the alert sounds only to find the emergency is
actually 100 miles up the highway. In addition, the WR-100B's memory
system accepts up to 25 counties, so you can monitor a broad swatch of
counties at once or restrict it to one.
Should an alert occur,
users have a choice of three warning systems: a 90 dB siren, a voice
alert, or a flashing red LED light. The siren is the best option for
people with larger homes or who aren't always near the monitor, while
the latter two options work well for smaller homes. Additional
features include a clock with an alarm and a snooze button, an
emergency power backup that keeps your radio working during power
outages or outdoor use, and external antenna and alert jacks.
The
WR-100B, which works with three AA batteries (not included), measures
5.12 by 2 by 6.25 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year
warranty.
